You'll have to remove the carpet on the right side of the boot to expose the filler flap opening mechanism.
Never done it before but if you search someone had posted exactly what you need to do.

Thanks guys I thought it might be that metal pole behind the interior trim,
But couldn't reach it. 

So went to get a screw driver and when I can back the electrics were working ,  :jumpmove:

It knew to start behaving before I took a screw driver to it.  :rolleye:
